Please explain, thank you!

Which of the following would be the most likely outcome of a neutral mutation in the DNA glycosylase gene? 2. DNA glycosylase gene, the cell will likely die B The function of the glycosylase gene is restored and functional glycosylase is produced C) A stop codon is introduced in the protein codingsequence D Recombination and base excision repair is disabled because one of the proteins is no longer functional. This could be the result of many different kinds of changes at the nucleotide level. E) The amino acid sequence of the enzyme is changed, but there is no effect on the DNA repair

Explanation / Answer

Option e is correct. Neytral mutation does not change the phenotype , the amino acids will keep coding for the same protein.Neutral mutation causes variation with progressing generation but they do not possess harmful effects.
